Latest results - semi-good news. I downloaded a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD and
booted it on my U46E-BAL5. It recognizes the touchpad as a touchpad, so there
are some kernel patches that at least partially fix this problem. They are
using a 3.0 kernel, not a 3.1, so the patches must have come from Ubuntu and
not from upstream. :-(
